Baltic Sun At St Petersburg 2003 Documentary Upd ⭐ Recent

Originally produced to mark 300 years since the founding of St. Petersburg by Peter the Great, Baltic Sun (directed by an independent European-Russian collective) is not a traditional historical lecture. Instead, it is a poetic, observational portrait of the city during its "White Nights" season. The title refers to the ethereal, midnight sun that hovers over the Neva River—a natural phenomenon that becomes a metaphor for a nation emerging from a decade of post-Soviet turbulence.
